This quote is rather odd, given that under a vanilla Mandrake 10.0 Official 
install (no updates), which uses the 2.6.3-7 kernel, my USB CD burner 
is /dev/scd0, which is a link to scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd. This seems 
to contradict the above quote. I'm definitely confused.

I think someone has hacked this edition about some.

Another related problem is,  you cannot open xcdroast without
media in both your writer and dvd drives because of a silly

Here's what Tom Brinkman wrote about this some time ago.

Not only that, there's quite a difference burning CD under
2.6.x kernels.  ide-scsi is no longer used for IDE CD drives,
no /dev/scd*'s are used either. Not even created by devfs. This
seems to be causing a lot of confusion for GUI users. Even on
the CL changes have to be adopted.  For example my aliases to
burn data, audio, and iso's now look like this
alias bdcd='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=24
dev=ATA:3,1,0 -data'
alias bacd='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=24
dev=ATA:3,1,0 -pad -audio *.wav'
alias biso='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=16
dev=ATA:3,1,0 -dao'
 dev= is obtained by running 'cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus'

   

That was valid then. Some updates to 10.1 put me 
(involuntarily) back to usin ide-scsi and /dev/scd*'s, and 
modified modprobe.conf and modprobe.preload to once again use to 
scsi host adaptor rather than ATA. I had to edit fstab to reflect 
this.  Back'nforth, back'nforth ;)  EG,

alias bdcd='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=32 
dev=1,0,0 -data'

tom $ ll /dev/scd*
lr-xr-xr-x  1 root root 31 May  1 19:12 /dev/scd0 -> 
scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
lr-xr-xr-x  1 root root 31 May  1 19:12 /dev/scd1 -> 
scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd

tom $ ll /dev/hdh
ls: /dev/hdh: No such file or directory
  (hdh was previously my burner, now it's scd1  ...again ;)
   It's gotten to be so much like musical chairs, I just quit 
commenting on cdrecord.  It's fairly easy for me to deal with, 
but for newbies, specially tryin to use burning GUI's it's gotta 
be a mess.

In fairness, I believe Mandrake is moving back to ide-scsi 
and /dev/scd* to clear up problems with cdrecord and various 
GUI's for it. Also for DVD burning.
 

Thank's tom that helps.

In a way it's a pitty because , well if it can be made to work I suppose 
the ATA route is to be prefered. But at least scsi-em works. Well it did 
the last time I used it.

 There does seem to be a speed= issue with cdrecord and 2.6.x. 
I've done some experimenting. Removing speed=XX from my burn CL 
unleashes burns at faster rates than I trust for the media I use 
(eg over 48x).  Setting 24x seems to burn at about 24x. Setting 
32x burns at a variable rate working it's way up to 32x.
Burner is 52x Plextor, media is 48 to 52x.

   cdrecord displays this an other info on the CL. There's no 
tellin what various GUI frontends are doin, or whether cdrecord 
is goin along with it ;>

 They are warnings, not errors.  The author of cdrecord is 
known to be a little outspoken.  He's got'a bit of a grudge 
against kernel.org.   Under 10.0/2.6.x, you'll probly also see a

That is where I got a caldera drdos bootdisk, which was the first one I

OK, I have no clue why using such a floppy works every time for me and won't 
work at all for you. Firmware upgrades should _not_ be dependant on any 
specific OS, they should always run from a DOS command or require to be 
written to the drive as a part of the software that runs the device. What I 
mean is the firmware should either be held in the device, or loaded as needed 
when the device is called.

Two reasons I'll never use or recommend Plextor drives:

1.) Price. They don't do anything cheaper units don't to the best of my 
knowledge;
2.) Overly complicated (obviously) firmware updates. 

Yet I know people that swear by Plextor.

I'm all out of ideas and as usual pressed for time so I'll end with a 
question. (Watch for word wrap!)

Have you read any of this?

http://www.google.ca/linux?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Plextor+CD-R+%A0+PX-W1210A%3B+firmware&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

Hi Terry;

Since you have Windows 95 box just format a floppy with the system files only. 
Once you have sys.com and drvspace.exe on it copy the firmware flash to it 
then boot from it. At the command prompt (a:\) just type the name of the 
firmware upgrade utility and it should run.

That's all I do for all BIOS and firmware updates, I just keep a floppy with 
those files ready to add whatever flash utility is pertinent to the drive or 
BIOS to be upgraded.

Good luck;
Charlie

I usually just go to http://www.bootdisk.com and download any of the DOS based 
boot disk files. Or a Free DOS version. All you really need on the disk is 
the firmware file and installer plus command.com and system files. The rest 
is a waste of effort and space.

You should also be able to use something like Dr DOS or similar. Or just get a 
friend to make you a Windows boot disk and just save the parts you need then 
add the firmware package from Plextor. It's really not that hard.

I noticed that the firmware upgrades are in an m$ executable format.  Is
it time to get the dos boot floppy out again or is there a better way? 
I have a FAT32 partition on my disk but I've never used it.  I have
samba installed and running but no access to my local /mnt/windows
partition, or can I just change the group permissions and write to it?

Totally side-issue (apologies to the original poster) - I have an 
issue with an older drive being unable to read home-recorded disks.  
I'm wondering if the higher capacity of these disks is the reason, 
although they are far from full.  Any comments?

The first thing I would do with any older CD-R/RW is check the manufacturer's 
site to find whether there's a firmware update available. That's the easy way 
to ensure capability of larger capacity disks. ignsize can be dangerous 
because it instructs the writing app to over burn. Often a very bad thing.

If you want to see what cdrecord does before it starts to write to a blank run 
the following command with a blank in the drive:. Alter the dev= part to suit 
your environment of course, not everyone's burner is dev=0,0,0:

cdrecord -atip dev=0,0,0

You'll get more than you want to know about the device, the media, the version 
of cdrecord you're running, etc.. Thusly:

I've assembled far too many boxes for people using recycled components such as 
CD-RW drives to neglect a firmware update, and if the drive is old but has no 
update available I always test with larger capacity media before I'll use it 
or stick it into a new system. The price isn't high enough to justify it, the 
A-Open shown above that's in this machine was only $39.95 Canadian. The DVD 
+-R/+-RW (Sony) I installed yesterday was only $180.00 Canadian.

Both use any size blank you can buy. With the software built in for Mandrake

There's a lot here I don't think is good.  Media quality is 
suspect to unusable.  Also so is capacity.  Your problem is 
simple. You're tryin to burn 697 MB's to it.  That ain't never 
gonna work. "No way, no how" is what cdrecord should'a said ;)

   Plextor's are about the most lenient for marginal media, but it 
looks like your drive really hates this one. Seems I read a few 
articles about 'illegal media coding' a year or so ago, but for 
the life of me I've got CRS about it. I know there's been many 
user complaints about fly by night media for years, that it won't 
take the advertised MB's. More like no more than 600 on a  
advertised as 650 blank. IIRC, that's mostly what the 'orange 
forum embargo' was about. That and licensing, patent violations.
That's academic tho, you need a decent 700MB CDr.

   I haven't used a GUI in so long I can't comment. As far as El 
Torito (floppy boot img), catalog goes, they're in the bootable 
iso already, no need to create or add them.  -dao (Disk At Once) 
is needed because it exactly records the iso to CDr, and 
preserves the md5sum. A must for being postive you've got a good 
bootable CDr. 

Cut'n paste this into the bottom of /etc/bashrc (as root), 
you'll have it from then on, all cdwriter users.

alias biso='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=16 
dev=1,0,0 -dao'

You can remove driveropts=burnfree if you want, change the 
speed=, and make sure of your dev=   then

Open a console as user, type 'biso '   
 (w/o the 's and <'s)

   (type 'nam' and hit  to auto complete) and you'll be 
burning a perfectly good bootable CDr, before most GUI's will 
even appear on your screen, much less get configured and ready to 
go. With Mandrake iso's, which include CD1, CD2, CD3 in the name, 
after you burn the first CD, use the  to bring up the 
CL again, change the 1 to a 2 and burn the second CD. So on for 
the third. You'll have all three CD's burned before Gcombust gets 
done with the first one.  And you'll know what you did, rather 
than guessing at what a GUI might'a done ;) 

One further caution, 'run -checkdrive dev=?,?,?' and look at 
the output at the bottom. You _must_ see SAO in the Supported 
modes: line (SAO, Session At Once is -dao).

If your burner can't do 700MB or doesn't support SAO, you 
really should get a better drive.  The deficient ones that can't, 
are like havin a Betamax, when all the stores only carry VHS.

I burn ISO's with GCombust all the time, no special options, just browse to the
image on the 'burn' tab, and that's it. I don't even enable DAO...

I'll have to try that CLI bit though...

Sorry Terry,
I don't use Gcombust myself, and that is why I chose to give you a 
cdrecord CL which got around the 650MB limit on cdrcord, of course make 
sure you have 700MB media.

As far as Gcombust is concerned, it's a question of choosing the 
eliments of the programme that select to write the contents of your iso 
image file to disc, as agains writing the iso image itself to disc. if 
the resulting write is not bootable as it ought to be, then you got it 
the wrong way around.

 Replace the ?'s with your values. I suggest 1/3 of the lesser

'cdrecord -scanbus' will show you what to use for  dev=

   After burning it's very important to check the md5sum of the 
burned CD.   'md5sum /dev/scd?' is the best and easiest way.

Did your friend use a similar or the identical iso to cut the disk that works?

If it was not an identical one, is botablet-image.iso one that you have made 
yourself using mkisofs? 

If so then this could maybe be the place to start looking.
/usr/share/doc/mkisofs-1.15/README.eltorito

I know this is gonna sound odd, but I have a Plextor CDRW and everytime I pick
dummy or test on recording software, it fails. If I go ahead and just do it, it
works fine... Gnome Toaster specifically does this... I can't say what yours

No, you should not get an error during dummy write. I did not read

This should be no problem, since I intentionally used the dummy

I would have removed the --dummy flag. 

But do you mean that by removing this flag cdrecord will not fail?

Re: [newbie] cdrecord on LM 8.0

2002-04-19 Thread Raffaele Belardi

The only problem I see in your log is that you used 'dummy' mode flag. 
That way cdrecord does a 'test' write, without turning the laser on: no 
actual recording takes place.
If you are using a GUI front-end, check that the 'dummy' flag isn't set.

Yes, it works. Thanks a lot! By the way, it looks it
works without having to reboot.

The funny thing is that the scsi emulation was already
seen from the system, at least it was listed in Mandrake
control center -> Hardware -> CDROMS, so I couldn't
suspect a config problem.

Thanks again!

Yep
Been there got the T shirt.

Its the new devfs system which auto populates the /dev folder.
It requires the drivers to be aware of it, and the scsi driver used by 
cdrecord isn't.

All you have to do is edit /etc/lilo.conf and change the line 

append=" hdd=ide-scsi devfs=mount quiet"

to

append=" hdd=ide-scsi devfs=nomount quiet"

Then re-run lilo with /sbin/lilo and reboot

Then it should work  (hopefully)

You may then find you can no longer play audio cd's
If so make a symlink 

ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/hdc

(Assuming your cdrom drive is on hdc)

For your info, it works on Mandrake 8.0. I mean,
CDRW works on 8.0. I have also other problems on 8.1 with
CDROM: sometimes, there is no way to remove the CD by pressing
the CD button.
As for internet sharing, I use it on 8.1 and it works well.
But I remember I had some trouble to get it work. Apparently,
the setup is not _exactly_ the same as on 8.0. Something is
different, but I don't know what. It might be something like
the DNS setting. I find this parameter ambiguous. Which DNS?
The name server of my ISP that resolves names from the internet,
or the DNS to resolve names on my lan? Anyway, try to modify
some of the parameters, and it might work.
As for reinstalling cdrecord, I have downloaded it
and tried to reinstall, but I got an error. This might also
be a 8.1 issue, but there are a lot of errors when installing
a package. A lot more than on 8.0.

latest is 1.11 - i have 1.10 - i dont think there are too much changes in 
this version
furthermore i think its simply a problem of cdrecord not supporting DAO for 
my burner -
but theres nothing i can do about this - unfortunately...i will gice cdrdao 
a try

do u know of other cd - burning  programs ?

hi michael

i tried x cd-roast - but since it uses cdrecord as well it didnt work.
after that i tried to burn my wav files via command line - not setting the 
-dao option and thus burning in TAO mode.
this worked - but i would have liked to burn DAO over a nice gui

does gnome-toaster use another program than cdrecord ?

As the original poster of this, I'm thinking its time to put it to rest,
It was not my intention to start a MS vs. Linux discussion as I feel
this is not the place for it.  I think those of us on this list have
mandrake and/or some other distro for our own reasons, probably most of
us also use microsoft products for our own reasons and that's probably
enough said.  Now on to the (non)solution to the original problem(seems
it must be a hardware problem).

Re: [newbie] cdrecord

2001-03-12 Thread Adrian Smith

hi, a comment about your original problem.  just to eliminate something simple, have 
you tried different brands of blank CDs?

see, my burner was working fine under linux, then suddenly it started trashing about 
50% of the CD-Rs i tried to burn.  i was trying to figure all this out and one day it 
occured to me that when i used my CD-RWs (4 of them, every weekend to backup) i never 
had a problem.

i was using Memorx CDs (should have known better) so i bought a pack if Imation (for 
half the cost) and guess what.  they work perfect.  i haven't made a single coaster 
yet since using up the Memorx.  and yes, i did shuffle between the Memorx & Imation 
disk all in one session.  it was the media, not my hardware / software.

one other thing, on this win vs. linux thing.  i recently installed Win98se on a 
different hard drive, but my same computer.  the CD burner would not work.  yet again 
-- if you think windows is "easy" to install, i don't think you've tried it lately.  
this last install took me over 2 hours and the burner nor sound card work at all.

2001-03-10 Thread Sridhar Dhanapalan

Could the problem be heat? I have had similar problems after a few 
burns or on hot days due to the drive overheating. Try to get your 
drive as cool as possible and then try burning at single speed. Also, 
try double speed, since many recorders out there don't like burning at 
single speed.

1. Move the normal CDROM to a different channel--that is don't let it share a 
channel with the CD writer.

2. if, for example the CD-R or CDRW is hdc do this

hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/hdc

Re: [newbie] cdrecord

2000-12-21 Thread Sridhar Dhanapalan

Try giving each device its own IRQ. Presently, you have a number of devices 
sharing the same IRQ, an open invitation for conflicts. After this, try 
burning again. Also, have you looked at the CD-Writing HOWTO, available at 
http://www.linuxdoc.org?

Its an IDE CD-RW. I don't think it runs off a controller card, but I'm not
100% on that. I did go into the BIOS to check to see if PNP was enabled,
but there wasn't anything that said anything about it...cheesy Compaq...

But I did find a list of IRQ stuff:

PCI Devices

Compaq VGA Controller - IRQ 11
Intel USB Controller - IRQ 11
Intel SMBus Controller - IRQ 5
Compaq audio device - IRQ 5
Ethernet Controller - IRQ 5

Any idea if any of this stuff could be affecting me?

Re: [newbie] cdrecord

2000-12-19 Thread Sridhar Dhanapalan

Firstly, is your drive IDE or SCSI? Does it run off a controller card (almost 
a certainty if it is SCSI)? If so, then is the card ISA or PCI? Apparently 
ISA cards in Linux have problems with IRQs (they must be set manually). PCI 
cards can also have problems, though not as many. There should be an option 
in your BIOS called something like "Plug 'n Play OS installed". Set this to 
No. Try burning again (do dummy burns so you don't waste money on coasters). 
What other cards do you have on your system, and are they ISA or PCI? You 
could be experiencing a good ol' IRQ conflict.

Re: [newbie] cdrecord

2000-12-19 Thread Roger Sherman

Hey Sridhar...

OK, there was a guy who had virtually the same CD-RW as I do in the expert
list, who got the same message about the controller returning the wrong
size...he said in 7.1, even though he got that message, his CD-RW worked
flawlessly. In 7.2 it's a bit more intermittant, but it works, so I don't
think thats the main problem...at least its not mine.

Someone else on the expert list had this to say:

--

I have an adaptec AHA1505 ISA scsi card and S&F 4x CDRW.
I also have Yamaha OPL-SAx ISA sound card.
A while ago, I too had similar problem with my CD burner.
It turned out that both the ISA cards were using same IRQ and IO addresses
were messed up. Also if I enabled sound or started any sound program my
system used to freeze and I had to press RESET button.
I solved the problem with doing the isapnp configuration by hand.
Now both the cards are happy and I've had no problems.

--

I don't really know how to go about figureing out if what he said could be
my problem, let alone configuring it if in fact that is the problem, but
it seems an avenue worth exploring...any suggestions on where to start?

peace,

Rog

Is there any way to burn mp3s straight to CD in CD audio format on-the-fly? I 
hate converting mp3s to wav files and I don't like rebooting to Windows to 
use Nero.

You'll need to convert them to .wav files first.
mpg123 does it, and so does xmms ;-)

try mpg123 --help or mpg123 --longhelp or man mpg123

No.  At least not if you want to play them in a non-mp3-understanding
audio cd player.  You must first convert the mp3 files to a format
understood by cdrecord (cdr, wav, au).  You can use mpg123 to do that,
like so:

$ mpg123 --cdr Song.cdr Song.mp3

That will create the file, Song.cdr, from the file, Song.mp3.  You can
then feed the cdr file directly to cdrecord.  

$ cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=2 -audio -pad *.cdr 

That will burn onto the cd all the cdr files in the current directory. 
You could do wav files instead of cdr files...

$ mpg123 --wav Song.wav Song.mp3
$ cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=2 -audio -pad *.wav 

...but cdrecord is transparently converting the wav files to cdr anyway,
so you may as well save a step.

What I usually do is take 20 or so mp3 files and put them in one
directory.  If you use xmms to organize your playlist, it will show you
the total playing time for your tracks -- stop when you hit about 74
minutes.  I then convert them all to cdr files in one fell swoop:

$ cd ~/mp3/CoolTunes
$ mkdir tmp
$ for i in *.mp3; do mpg123 --cdr tmp/`basename "$i" .mp3`.cdr $i; done


Of course, the above for loop won't work if any of your files contain
spaces in their names, as so many mp3 files do.  In that case, you'll be
forced into the inner circles of shell quoting hell:

for i in *.mp3
do 
sh -c "mpg123 --cdr \"tmp/`basename "$i" .mp3`.cdr\" \"$i\""
done

Or something like that.  Some napster clients provide options for
converting spaces to underscores automatically.  If you're making cd's
from the command line, that option is your friend.  :-)


Once you have all the cdr files in their own directory, check that
they're within the limits of your cd's capacity:

$ du -sh tmp

You can create additional cdr files in that directory to bring the total
up to 650MB or so.

Once you're satisfied with the contents of that directory, do this:

$ cd tmp
$ cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=2 -audio -pad *.cdr 

That assumes you either a) don't care about the order of the tracks
since you usually shuffle them on your player anyway, or 2) you've
painstakingly named the files so that they come up in the correct order
when the shell expands the wildcard, *.cdr.  You can use the ls command
to check your work if you use the latter method.  Or you can be explicit
with cdrecord:

$ cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=2 -audio -pad Song1.cdr Song2.cdr
Song3.cdr

Good luck!
